Su questo libro

Recensione:

Los Angeles Times At once sophisticated and innocent, compassionate and entertaining.

Anne Tyler I was bowled over by Monica Ali's Brick Lane.

The New Republic Splendid....Daring....Brilliant....Refreshing....Brick Lane is a great achievement of the subtlest storytelling.

The Boston Globe Brick Lane is as crisp and urgent as a headline....But the true pleasure of this wonderful novel comes from its timeless sense of wonder and affection for the haplessness of human nature.

Chicago Star Tribune Beautiful and intensely readable.
